The Turkish boat follows the participants of the Turkish boat that joined the annual Canal Parade for the first time during Gay Pride 2012. We join the Turkish-Dutch gay activists Done and Serdar in their attempt to gain recognition and acceptance within the Turkish community. In the days following the Gay Pride a number of the participants reveal that they received threats and hate mail after their appearance on the boat. Done and Serdar unveil the delicateness of the matter of homosexuality within the Turkish community and show us that there are plenty of obstacles left to scale.
